Online Security Training FAQ’s
I don’t have an Ontario Security Guard License, what do I need to do?

As of April 15, 2010 the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety & Correctional Services Training & Testing Regulations are in effect.

The Ontario Security Training website is a place where you can find online training to complete the Basic Security Guard training using an Instructor-led, Web-based learning platform. This will save you travel time, and a four day commute expense. You may purchase the lessons by Visa, MasterCard, or Interac and you’ll be assigned a password to login to your online course. Ontario Security Training is a third party training provider.

How difficult is the ministry test?

The ministry test is designed to test your knowledge of the ministry mandated curriculum. For some of you, this will mean that you will need to brush up your knowledge in some areas that you have never trained in before.

For new applicants, it will mean that you will need effective training that meets the ministry regulation requirements. A majority of applicants pass on the first attempt.

Is online training an acceptable way to take the required training?

Yes. Our virtual classroom conforms with legal and industry requirements. For the Security Guard Basic Training it must be Instructor-lead Web-based training.

Is online training as effective as traditional in-class training?

Yes, in fact it has been proven to be more effective in some cases. Although you are not physically in a brick-and-mortar classroom, you train in an “online” classroom. If you are taking a Basic Security Training course utilizing a featured training agency from the ONTARIO SECURITY TRAINING website, this means that you will be using live conferencing inside the Online Classroom or a blended approach.
